Description

  The present invention relates to a polymer composition having a heterophasic propylene copolymer (HECO) and a specific combination of UV absorbers. The present invention further relates to the use of a combination of UV absorbers in the composition and polymer composition for improving its final odor.

  Automotive interior parts such as dashboards, door exteriors and trims are typically made from polymers. Such parts often try to imitate a surface or feel like leather or cloth to give the passenger the impression that the car is of high quality. For such products, the final odor of automotive parts plays a major role for users. As a result, odor characteristics are an important characteristic of automotive interior parts.

  The odor of the polymer composition is influenced not only by the base polymer and filler but also by additives and stabilizers. Regarding light stabilizers, the commonly used combinations of hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) known to those skilled in the art, “Tinvin 770 / Chimasorb 119” or “Chimasorb119 / Chimasorb 944” have been found to adversely affect the odor of the final product. It was issued.

  Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to find a polymer composition having a novel light stabilizer system that results in improved odor of the final product.
